2020 Map of Gibson

About this map

The settlement of Gibson serves as the focal point for this rural landscape where Sweet Grass County and Golden Valley County meet. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the forks of the Big Coulee Creek, including N Fork Big Coulee Cr and S Fork Big Coulee Cr. To the southeast, Sixshooter Cr cuts through the high ground, while Simmons Cr drains the northwest corner. This area remains primarily characterized by its vast cattle ranching infrastructure and remote road network, with primary access provided by S Barber Rd and S Shawmut Rd. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, dividing the open range into townships such as t3n r18e and t4n r17e, showing a land still largely organized by the original section lines.
